This book is designed to introduce graduate students and researchers to the primary methods useful for approximating integrals. The emphasis is on those methods that have been found to be of practical use, focusing on approximating higher- dimensional integrals with coverage of the lower-dimensional case as well. Included in the book are asymptotic techniques, multiple quadrature and quasi-random techniques and a complete development of Monte Carlo algorithms. For the Monte Carlo section important sampling methods, variance reduction techniques and the primary Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithms are covered. This book brings these various techniques together for the first time, and provides an accessible textbook and reference for researchers in a wide variety of disciplines.

The urban population in many developing countries continues to grow at more than six percent per year. The number of cities with a population of over 10 million inhabitants is expected to double within a generation. More importantly, within a generation, more than half of the developing world?s population and between a third and one-half of its poor, will then reside in cities. Not only will the number of inhabitants in cities continue to increase but the problems associated with an increasing urban population will be exacerbated.

ANCIENT ASTRONAUTS AND THE ULTRA-TERRESTRIALS – THE REVEALING TRUTH COULD CAUSE WORLDWIDE RELIGIOUS, POLITICAL AND ENERGY UPHEAVALS!                                                                                                                                                         The belief in strange beings coming down from the stars to intermingle with humanity can be traced back to the earliest days of mankind. While the scientific community maintains that the current notion of UFOs and their extraterrestrial pilots is simply a modern version of the myths and legends contained within almost every culture and civilization, Ancient Astronaut theorists maintain that we have been “tinkered with,” and that someone – or “something” else – is keeping a watchful eye over mankind for their own purposes that can only be alluded to. As early as the 1960s, Britain’s 8th Earl of Clancarty, Brinsley Le Poer Trench, made an astounding revelation. He said that he was convinced that life on earth had originated on the planet Mars and that the first voyagers here had been theBiblical Adam and Even who had left their paradise of the Garden of Eden and arrived on earth in a space ark piloted by Noah. Thus the roots of the various Biblical stories from the Old Testament which are taught in every Sunday School today. But the story told by British nobility and the other researchers in this book tell even a far stranger tale about the secret history of our planet, a history that is “forbidden knowledge” to a handful of individuals who are now sharing their findings for the first time: O Why has the CIA and the military shown an unprecedented interest in the remains of what many claims to be Noah’s Ark that came to rest on Turkey’s Mount Ararat? Is the anomalous structure a crashed space ship, something metallic as opposed to the gopher-wood of the Biblical tale, as researcher Nick Redfern insists could be true? O Is there a distinction to be made between the ancient aliens and the true Creator God, and do these “visitors” have the same imponderable questions as we do about life, death and religion? Eric von Daniken spokesman Giorgio Tsoukalos has his own ideas on this concept?  O “We have met the Martians and they are us,” suggests Brad Steiger. Is there new evidence to suggest that life on earth was first planted in South America and spread out from there? O Is there a new race of humans being formed in these uncertain times? According to the Earl of Clancarty, some of us are rapidly reacquiring the telepathy and psychic we were originally created with.

DISCOVER AMERICA'S MOST BIZARRE CRYPTID CREATURES!    Here Is Proof That These Strange Canines Exist And Could Be Hiding In Plain Sight In Your Neighborhood!    Read Case Histories Of Face-To-Face Confrontations With Anomalous "Monsters" And Incredible Beasts Who Spring Forth From The Backwoods, Other Realms And Far Flung Dimensions!    CRYPTOZOOLOGY is the science-based search for creatures whose existence remains unproven due to lack of evidence. Cryptozoologists refer to the animals they study as "cryptids." This includes living examples of creatures that are otherwise considered extinct, such as dinosaurs; animals whose existence lacks physical evidence but which appear often to reliable witnesses, such as Bigfoot and Chupacabra ; and wild animals encountered dramatically outside their normal geographic habitat, such as phantom cats and the increasingly popular Dogmen, currently reported in over 20 states.    CRYPTID CREATURES FROM DARK DOMAINS: CONFRONT DIRECTLY SUCH DENIZENS AS THE DOGMEN, DEVIL HOUNDS, PHANTOM CANINES AND THE HORRIFIC WEREWOLVES OF FACT AND FOLKLORE.   Legends of black dogs and phantom hounds are widespread throughout the United States as well as in the United Kingdom. Though presented as a work of fiction, Sherlock Holmes creator Sir Arthur Conan Doyle based his most popular detective thriller, "The Hound of the Baskervilles," on true accounts of a mysterious black beast with blazing red eyes who is said to have attacked those crossing the moors. Some victims were lucky to have gotten away with their lives. Perhaps there are others who disappeared and whose bodies were not accounted for. Today's top paranormal researchers delve into stories of the bloody beast, who comes in various sizes and apparently even has the ability to shape-shift into an even more hideous creature when cornered, as described by England's leading cryptozoologist Nick Redfern in this stunning new work.     Here also is the latest research from Pennsylvania's foremost Dogmen researcher Butch Witkowski, who finds himself in the middle of an unprecedented wave of "bipedal canine" appearances to hunters and campers. These Dogmen are upright creatures, standing over seven-feet-tall and said to have a muscular physique similar to Arnold Schwarzenegger. The strange hairy frame is topped by the face of a hideous, snarling dog who breathes out dread and fear to all those who cross its path.    Meanwhile, newcomer Michele Lowe reveals for the first time the shocking details of a terrifying, vengeful Hellhound that supernaturally kept pace with the car she rode in as it "doggedly" pursued her through a Hollywood neighborhood.    Also included here are dozens of additional accounts by Tim Beckley, Sean Casteel, Andrew Gable, Tim Swartz and Claudia Cunningham; stories of devilish, gruesome, repugnant, mysterious beasts - said to be Satan's watchdogs protecting the portals to other dimensions and realms where no mortal should dare to tread!

THIS PLANET IS A COSMIC LABORATORY . . . AND WE ARE BUT GUINEA PIGS TO THOSE WHO HAVE KEPT US AS PRISONERS ON EARTH. 
Each year an estimated 850,000 Americans are reported missing. Exactly where do they go? 
A military intelligence operative known as Commander X goes behind the scenes to provide BREAKING NEWS on a vast variety of conspiracies that are hidden because they are said to be “Fake News,” when in reality they are issues that would be troubling to us all if we only knew more about them. 
Not long ago a leading British scientist confirmed the existence of “The Controllers.” He was quoted as having said: “Human beings are simply pawns in the games of alien minds that control our every move. Our whole life and the complete existence of the universe is at the whim of the creatures that hold fantastic mental powers over us.” This secret dossier is proof that humankind continues to wage all out battle with those who have kept us as their slaves since the beginning of time. 
They are: **-- The Soulless Ones. **-- The Elders. **-- The Illuminati. **-- The Grays. **-- The Counterfeit Race. 
They have, says the author (who is of military intelligence) kept us in human bondage by: Controlling our minds. Planting imperfect thoughts in our heads. Kidnapping humans. Impregnating women. Causing global warfare and ethnic hatred. Creating a false economic system, and assassinating and replacing our most trusted spiritual leaders, rulers and elected officials. 
This highly classified report also contains the previous unpublished SOM-1 UFO Retrieval Manual given to those military personnel responsible for removing the wreckage of crashed UFOs and the bodies of surviving or deceased aliens that have been shot down or fallen from the sky. This book exposes the true nature and danger of our current world situation and reveals how we may take the Earth back, rid of planet of these sinister beings, live a more fruitful existence and learn to live in peace and harmony with all positive forces throughout the universe.

SHOCKING REVELATIONS DETAIL HITLER’S FASCINATION WITH OCCULTISM AND THE SUPERNATURAL 
 Some historians believe Hitler was uniquely evil, wicked beyond even the human capacity for wickedness. Many of the impressions regarding the Fuhrer’s involvement with “demonic forces” can be attributed to such pop culturebooks such as “Morning of the Magicians,” (1960) “The Spear of Destiny,” (1972) and even such works of cinematography magic as “The Raiders of the Lost Ark.” (1981) But what is the truth about the fire and fury surrounding the National Socialist movement which placed the “racially pure” Aryian race above the rest of the German population, as well as those citizens of other countries? 
 Much has been written regarding the notion that Hitler and his hand picked echelon of SS officers were deeply influenced by occult ritualism and tradition. For the first time, we present the best procurable proof of a Nazi Supernatural Connection that called for the collection and veritable “worship” of powerful artifacts that supported their insane racist agenda. That included a highly dangerous effort to rewrite the history books and “re-program” the German people so that they could establish that this seemingly bizarre Nazi agenda was truly the fulfillment of European mystery traditions as taught in some Secret Societies. 
 — ** It is said that Hitler possessed a religious artifact called the Spear of Destiny, believed to have been used to pierce the side of Christ as he hung dying on the cross. Hitler felt that the spear had come into his hands as a sign of his own destiny as the Antichrist as prophesied in the Book of Revelation and by Nostradamus. 
 — ** Did Nordic-looking “star people” really make contact with German scientists and weapons designers? 
 — ** Did some hidden race contact the Nordic beauties of the mediumistic Vril Society and provide them with the technology to travel through time and space? 
 — ** Did the Nazis search for and perhaps even rediscover long lost cities where Aryan gods were said to dwell, that the Nazis occult undergirding was superior to the “merely mortal” strength and firepower of their enemies? 
 Nothing Hitler did existed in a moral vacuum. His unfathomable cruelty seems to have sprung full-blown from the bowels of hell and was not just a product of human hubris and madness. This book will tell you why that is so from the perspective of several different authors.

NIKOLA TESLA - FIRST TIME REVEALED! SECRETS DRAWN FROM THE BLACK VAULT OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER **-- Can A Simple Device Enable Even The Common Man To Speak To Beings On Other Planets? ** -- Have Thousands Of Messages Been Sent To Us Over Radio And TV From Other Worlds? Have Such Otherworldly Transmissions Been Beamed to Astronauts And Even A U.S. Senator As Well? ** -- Did The Great Genius Nikola Tesla Communicate With The Planet Mars -- In A Two Way Conversation? ** -- Did Tesla Have A Son Who Secretly Continued His Work With Interplanetary Communications Following His Death? In this fascinating contribution to the field of Exopolitics and Extraterrestrial Communications, the authors tackle a variety of powerful questions that need serious attention in order to verify and qualify the material presented for our consideration. Did Tesla's receptivity to the true nature of the cosmos and his inadvertent tapping into "messages" from the true "outer limits" of space allow him to create the plans for futuristic aerial craft that could circumnavigate the Earth almost instantaneously? Since the beginning of the twentieth century, instances of mysterious "interference" have been reported over various broadcast frequencies. Whether it's a powerful TV station in England, high frequency channels reserved strictly for astronaut communications, ham sets, or CB equipment, some unknown intelligent sources have the ability to "cut in" and take over the airwaves as they see fit. This volume reveals the history of such transmissions, how the reader can construct a simple device that might allow one to "speak to the stars" and establish ET contacts, and, above all else, tells the incredible, hidden history of one of the greatest geniuses that ever lived and how his life was directed by an advanced race of beings from a planet concerned about the Earth's wellbeing. They directed Nikola Tesla to become a humanitarian idealist, consumed by a passion to save the world from poverty and war. This is a book of mystery, of mysticism, of intrigue, that puts a whole new light on a man with almost supernatural powers and the space beings - though hidden behind the scenes - who assisted in helping him achieve his almost miraculous goal of leading the Earth into a Golden or New Age and a thousand years of prosperity. This is not a "difficult to read" book on Tesla's scientific principles and his work as a engineer, but a book that covers the much hushed-up aspects of his life and career and his association with friendly beings from other worlds. If there are UFOs, their occupants are said to have "planted" Tesla and other far out thinkers on the earth to expand our consciousness.
